Notes:

(1) Howard Hunt had been a leading CIA officer, known for sabotage-subversion against Cuba, and the 1954 coup against Guatemalan President Jacobo à rbenz, a democratically elected social democrat. In 2003, when deathly ill, Hunt confessed on tape to his son that the CIA organized and participated in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. He said he played a minor role. Click Here

George Liddy had been an FBI agent, who spent 52 months in prison for his role in the burglary of Watergate, the Democratic Party national headquarters. He is also alleged to have been involved in JFK's assassination. (2) The mass media ignores the United Nations assessment that prison conditions forced upon Assange are torture. In a press briefing at the United Nations headquarters in New York on October 15, 2019, UN Special Rapporteur on Torture Nils Melzer restated his assessment that WikiLeaks' publisher Julian Assange has been subjected to an unprecedented campaign of persecution that amounts to "torture".

"Footage aired by the Russian-funded RT outlet showed a grand total of four people in the audience, surrounded by rows of empty chairs. To date, the RT article, and an accompanying video, appears to be the only report on the briefing by any media outlet in the world.
